matt holds kaia tightly and rubs her back under her shirt to soothe her. he kisses her forehead and wipes away her tears, offering a smile.

"i'm really sorry, matt." she sniffles.

"don't worry about it. it's in the past and we're above that now. we're happy, it's okay." he assures her.

"but i just feel horribly for how i treated you. i never should've been with james it fucked up my relationship with you." she apologizes.

"kai, it's okay, really. i'm over it, we don't have to think about that." he brushes the hair out of her face.

"promise?" she smiles weakly.

"promise." he nods.

"i should've been with you this whole time, everyone told me james was gonna hurt me and they were all right." she sighs.

"well you're here with me, now." he smiles.

"i don't want to be with anyone else." she shakes her head.

"me neither. you're perfect for me." he agrees.

"so what do we do?" she asks.

"well, neither of us want to be with anyone else. but, i don't want to rush a relationship if you're not ready yet. i can wait for you." he speaks.

"i'm ready, i know i only want you, matt." she smiles back.

"so you wanna, like, date me?" he questions nervously.

"yes. but you have a different question to ask me." she smiles and nods.

he smiles and shuffles to sit up in bed, reaching over her and grabbing one of his rings he discarded on his nightstand.

he holds the ring in his hands like a proposal and gets on one knee on his mattress.

"will you be my girlfriend?" he smiles as big as ever.

"ugh, if i have to." she smiles and rolls her eyes sarcastically.

"hey." he furrows his eyebrows.

"sorry, sorry. yes, of course i would love to, matt." she apologizes and sits up, nodding.

he playfully puts the ring on her finger and swoops her into a huge hug. she smiles against his shoulder and hugs him back. he pushes his lips into hers and falls back into the mattress with her.

she holds both sides of his face and pulls him deeper into the kiss. they seperate and smile at eachother.

"i love you." matt says.

"i love you more." she smiles.

"good. i'm still tired." he laughs.

"me too." she nods in agreement, pulling the blanket up over both their bodies and snuggles into him.

"goodnight." he whispers.

"goodnight." she replies.

they fall back asleep and at this point, it's a little past 9am. they sleep until 1:30 when justin knocks on the door to wake them up for lunch.
